Ebony Road Players’ is partnering with the Grand Rapids Children’s Museum for the 10th Annual West Michigan Loving Day Celebration!

Loving Day is celebrated in cities throughout the country in observance of the Loving v. Virginia Supreme Court Case of 1967, where Mildred and Richard Loving - an interracial couple - fought to strike down the criminality of their marriage in the United States. After 50 years we continue to fight prejudice and build community through our multiracial relationships and families. 

Join us on June 15th from 11:00 AM-3:00 PM at the Grand Rapids Children’s Museum!
